Pimpin' Pens

We never left - Summer recap and some new clips

2009-11-06T00:07:00.022-05:00

Let me start off by mentioning that this is the third attempt to write
this fucking post since it's collosal grandeur has resulted in some accidental deletion of content! (Hate that shit) Anyway, 2009 has been a brutal journey for the pimpin pens team and much of the economy as well. Our efforts and willingness to grind was tested constantly but in this upcoming year we reflect on those dark times and embrace our newly found stabilty. If you stay down you will eventually come up, as a good friend once told me. Here's a re-cap and hilights of some of our favorite net finds of the last year.

American Prostitute Interviews Part 2: Lorielle

2009-04-21T22:09:00.016-04:00

Pimpin' Pens proudly brings you the second installment in the exclusive saga of interviews we've lined up with some of the stars of American Prostitute. This week we bring you the charming Lorielle and her story. As we conducted the interview we uncovered a witty, educated, compassionate and highly motivated woman with a cause and a humble, regular past everyone could relate with. Seeing this genuine side was truly a pleasure with all the negative stigmas and mis-conceptions associated with Prostitution and the Adult Industry nowadays. Come to find out she had a normal childhood like most of us, got good grades in school, excelled in college but sometimes life's obstacles can drastically change the course of ones life. Enjoy this real look into the mind of the multi-faceted Lorielle as she tells her story and reveals the true life of a modern working girl in today's America.

1. What's a typical day like in the life of Lorielle?, your hobbies, etc.
A typical day for me is usually pretty busy. I'm a personal assistant
to the CEO of Hot Commoditeez so I'm always up early checking emails and running any errands that are needed for upcoming documentaries. My hobbies include working out, shopping, cooking, and I like to travel when I have time.

2. We know you want to raise money for charities such as Cervical Cancer, tell us more about that?
By raising money for Cervical Cancer research I feel I can give back
to the community and help educate everyone on this growing epidemic.Cervical Cancer is a slow-growing cancer that may not have symptoms and in 2008 there were 11,070 new cases and it caused 3,870 deaths. I'd like to start a non-profit organization that raises funds for research by catering desserts to parties, weddings and other events.

3. How did you get in the game and eventually become a part of this film?
I was looking for a job one day and I called an escort agency and the
first call they sent me on was with a guy who needed a date for a
wedding. I made more money in 4-5 hours than I did in 2 weeks working a normal 9-5 job. That experience changed my whole perspective about the adult entertainment business. I realized it's not just about getting paid for sex but it's more about playing different roles and being an actress to create an illusion to make men want to pay you for your time.

4. I'm sure you've seen and heard it all in your experiences, do you have any funny or interesting stories to share?
I got a call from a CEO of a bank saying he wanted a lingerie model.
When I showed up at his hotel room he was an older gentleman in a suit and tie and was real soft spoken. He excused himself to use the
restroom and when he came out a few minutes later he was the lingerie model. He was wearing garters, stockings, heels and his bustier even had built in breasts. All he wanted was for someone to tell him how pretty he was. People would really be surprised at how many men have a fetish for wearing lingerie.

5. In your opinion what's different about the film, what makes it unique and appealing?

This film is different because instead of pointing out everything that's negative it's showing the positive side of adult entertainment.American Prostitute is unique and appealing because it gives the females in this industry to express their point of view.

6. There's a lot of lies, stigmas and mis-conceptions about women in you profession, what are your thoughts.
I think there are a lot of misconceptions because for many years
people have been seeing documentaries showing only the bad side of
prostitution and adult entertainment. Many Americans think
prostitutes are only working to support their drug habit and probably
have this picture in their head of some homeless lady with a bunch of
diseases turning tricks in a back alley. There are a lot of educated
females in this industry and hopefully American Prostitute will help
change people's minds.

7. Any final thoughts or shout-outs you want to make?
I'd like to give a shout-out to all the respectable clients that
appreciate the art of adult entertainment and a high class lady.
Also to the producers of American Prostitute who gave me the
opportunity to express my point of view.

Boosie BadAzz iz back with a 30 track heater, Lil Boosieanna Part 4 Mixtape by Trap-a-holics and Dj Rell. This fourth installment in the "Boosieanna" series shows off some new swagger and bangers from the Baton Rouge rapper and icon in the bottom. (Southside Rambo) The mixtape, like the others, has an interesting mix of themes and imagery melded in the tracks like living with surveillance cameras, ( Scarface style ) watching for haters, paranoia, people trying to jack his chain and then transitions to more upbeat content like representing for his city, how his pops was a G, and - oh yeah smoking tons of purps. As usual he tears shit up with his hyped up flow and also offers some more story raps and classic one-liners and ad-libs. Overall the mixtape is solid and offers a tight assortment of songs to compliment your mood.

Behind The Vinyl Curtain: Bulldozer Beat Brigades

2008-12-31T02:00:00.001-05:00

"Initially it was the rawness. When I heard The Message. I was listening to Devo, Blondie, New Wave Groups like that that were sort of Cutting Edge. I remember in 1982 you heard Foreigner on the Radio, Blue oyster Cult. I was ten at the time. When I heard The Message, what struck about was that the music was almost a nonexistent sound scape, it was very raw, the lyrics were so direct, it wasn't just poetry. This was exactly how it was. That was so powerful, it was like boom. And the next song I heard about three weeks later was Planet Rock. It was those two songs that ignited the fire. I was very fanatical." - DJ Shadow

So as this ever so tumultuous year draws to a close, we pay proper homage to the selective bunch of elite technique twisters, maniacal drum machine mutilators, and sample savvy sentinels setting the bar for this gritty musical generation. We here at Pimpin' Pens highly respect and admire all the trill pimp talk and slick verbage that spills from an artists beak on a record, but we truly understand that the foundation of a song, and basically what sets the tone, is the beat that laces the track. As DJ Shadow so eloquently put it, the DJ's and Producers are fanatical, they disect the sounds and rhythms so that words and voices can blend over them. It's fucking science man, lol. So here are some very cunning composers that deserve honorable mentions, fully equipped with some of their best works, flicks, and excerpts. Enjoy d-bags...

Still Pimpin Pens: Ballin N the Mix

2008-12-31T01:00:00.000-05:00

I'm still draped up and dripped out reclining the top, and after another long hiatus I'm back ready to smack fire out your asses. I've been in the cut during the last fiscal quarter player plotting and strategizing on how to step up my game in the 09. Anyhoo, that is neither here nor there, for now I just wanted to bless you with these darts from Houston. I don't know what it is, but lately I've been bumping a lot of Texas made junts from the likes of DJ Screw, Lil Keke, Z-Ro, Fliperacci and the rest of the Screwed Up Click. The song below by DJ Screw and Lil Keke was the inspiration for our namesake, Pimpin Pens.

The legendary DJ Screw. King of The South in my opinion, fuck all that TI fuckery.

We will never see the progigous output from Texas that we did during the Cuban link era, circa 1994-1997. RIP to Big Mello, Pimp C, Screw, Fat Pat, Hawk, Moe and anyone else I forgot. Here is the unscrewed version.

Collecting Funkadelics: More Odes and Beatsmiths

2008-12-29T16:05:00.002-05:00

In continuation and conjunction with our monthly/end of the year ode to the beatsmiths, it deemed essential to provide a glimpse into the funkadelic works of the 2-headed b-boy bomb squad from the legendary pioneers "Company Flow", (Mr. Len and EL-P). [Especially since I just returned from melting my fucking face away in Holland rummaging through raunchy red lights and exquisite flower markets, and their timeless junts proved to be a rather excellent score.]

Company Flow, or CoFlow, emerged out the NYC indie/underground b-boy era in the early 90's. Comprised of Mr. Len (DJ/Producer), Bigg Jus (mc), and EL-P (rapper/producer) the group levitated towards acclaimed underground fame and gathered a solid following synonymous to cult followings. Their debut album "Funkcrusher Plus" is a prize jewel in any musicians collection. Although they disbanded prematurely, Mr. Len and EL-P managed to release an instrumental opus titled "Little Johnny from the Hospitul", and this my fellow vinyl junkies, displayed a level of beat craftsmanship unparalleled to any that have attempted to venture into this genre of composition.

Little Johnny is the type of record you bang out to once your plane touches down and you light a spliff, or you chew a couple caps in some concrete cluttered city surrounded by urbanites and dust smoke, or if you need to bug up right quick before slappin the shit out some lame, any of the aforementioned will do, all at once would label you a maniac of sorts. Anyway, this record morphs various genres of obscure musical samples distorted and cut up to gutter perfection, layered over a foundation of hard ass bomb-squad esq percussion. I mean, they completely ignore any consideration for traditional "hip-hop" sounding beats, while most other producers during that time were playing copycat or tickle the Triton, nah mean. Take a gander...

Company Flow: "Little Johnny from the Hospitul":

Worker Ant Uprise - Company Flow

Bee Aware - Company Flow

Friend vs. Friend - Company Flow

World Of Garbage - Company Flow

Indelible Hybrid - Company Flow

Shadows Drown - Company Flow

# Nine - Company Flow

Comp - Company Flow

Since "Little Johnny" dropped, both Mr. Len and EL-P went on to other group and solo endevours, EL-Pro of course becoming founder and president of the mega succesful independent staple Definitive Jux Records. Both, have contributed a plethora of banger instrumentals and productions for other artists, so you know I had to...

Flying Lotus - Dope Beats from the Cali skys and Beyond

2008-12-13T17:51:00.014-05:00

Check out the sounds from this up and coming, California beat composer "Flying Lotus" or FlyLo with his unique digital breakbeats blended with that G'd up Cali Funk synonymous with the West Coast. His music has a heavy bounce,the end sound is a trippy, mechanized, multi-layered journey into a bionic world with flying synthesizers, Nintendo music, lasers, and giant robots C-walking through a futuristic city. His songs are littered with debris from a previous civilization in the form of chopped samples and vinyl mixes transformed through a multitude of producing equipment in his arsenal.

In a cool little twist it turns out Flying Lotus' great-aunt is the late Alice Coltrane, wife of the legendary Saxophone master John Coltrane, so music is definitely always been in his DNA. His songs show a rare ability to mesh unconventional sounds and make jazzy, soulfully enticing beats from clicks, beeps and other strange electronic sounds. Listen to some of the eclectic ensembles below we put together crafted by the underground beat mechanic flipping some of the craziest tracks and styles I've heard in a while.
Enjoy the beats!

The infamous, big time, Gorilla grinders and late night gluttons return serving up a fresh plate of viciousness to cold-cock all those who tried to say we couldn't do it! It's been a year since we founded this blog and through hours of blood sweat and tears and dues upon dues paid we're now a world-wide phenom on the cusp of something monumental. Not just monumental in a monetary sense but in the realization that the movement were spearheading is understood and embraced by the masses. Motherfucka we don't know how to stop and it's only natural that we go hard everytime we drop.

It hasn't been an easy journey but nothing in this life worthwhile comes easy. Get that shit out of your head if you think opportunity is going to just come and fall in your lap, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to prevail these days and it's much more fulfilling to overcome obstacles in the face of adversity. So let the haters hate, we've had our fair share since we started this blog but like a wise person once said... "If you don't have anyone hating on you you're not doing something right." So yeah we like pimp shit, gutter shit, bitches, hard ass beats and blunts but our main objective here at Pimpin' Pens is to drop some science on your ass and enlighten you to some music, imagery, or articles you may not have been aware of. We specialize in finding the exclusive junts, rare shit and classics for our fans to enjoy but feel free to hit us up with any request you may have for content.

With that being said, heres some new shit for you to vibe to....

Ode to the DJsBring forth the Beat Smiths!

2008-12-03T14:15:00.010-05:00

This post is dedicated to the dusted out crate diggers forging incredible audioscapes from the melding of Vinyl, drum machines and clever sequencing to bring forth one of our most tribal senses, that of rhythm and the subconscious response to drum patterns and beats that evoke movement. Often overlooked, these producers and beat makers are essential to the music and culture we call Hip-Hop, and with the variety of styles in today's music, the tools of the trade are equally unique for certain sounds. Some use keyboards like the Korg Triton, or Midi keyboards, others use drum machines, samplers or all in one stations like the Akai MPC and SP 1200. This month discover some new compositions to get buck to as we take a look into the history and art of beatmaking.

Yeah that's right, after a brief hiatus this fall we back up in this bitch with harder content, more of the classic G shit and pimp tracks you love and basically we're ready to bitch slap any lemon lames who're trying to throw salt at a playa. As we recap the last year in review we'll be taking your feedback as to what you the fans would like to see in the upcoming year, what you've been feeling and what you want more of to further establish our mark in this world. As our loyal fans would know we always keep it 100 and far from commercial with a variety like no other.

We have been pleased with our readership and successes from last year but in 09 it's time to go big so expect another level of game to seep through the blog in the upcoming months. So, with that being said the Pimpin' Pens team would like to thank all of our loyal supporters who keep us motivated to do it bigger and better each time. Keep posting your comments and feedback, we thrive thanks to the interaction with you, the audience.

Much love and respect - keep it pimpin'.

RIP MC BREED

2008-11-24T10:19:00.002-05:00

It has recently come to my attention that the Flint, MI rapper MC Breed has recently passed away. MC Breed was one of the early pioneer's of Detroit based gangster rap, and was known to infuse his tunes with the G-funk style popularized by the west coast. Breed aligned himself with all every region throughout his career, working with artists ranging from 2pac, 8ball & MGJ, ICP, Too Short, Warren G, The Dayton Family and The D.O.C. In September of 08 he collapsed due to lung failure while playing a pick-up game of Bball. On November 22, 2008 he passed peacefully while in his sleep. Breed's legacy will be how many alliances he built within the rap game while he was here with us on Earth, take notes. God bless the memory of MC Breed, my prayers go out to his family and friends. He's up in the heavens now pourin up with Pac and BIG, so its all to the good.

New Koopsta Knicca Interview

2008-11-24T09:53:00.002-05:00

Check out this new exclusive uncut raw Koopsta Knicca (formerly of Three Six Mafia) interview with Memphisrap.com. The new Devils Playground II is going to be, simply put, off the chain. This knicca said he was featuring Gangsta Boo, Lord Infamous, T-Rock, Mr. Serve-On (from No Limit), Tela, and the wickedest of them all - Insane Clown Posse. This is indubitably the most anticipated release for my collection in the 09. Koopsta also seems to have moved past the animosity with Paul and Juicy. It's nice to see the cap peeler Koopsta out of jail with his mind right and in good spirits. Check it!

Feline Flavor: Fancy Feast Flossin

2008-10-29T16:29:00.005-04:00

Check out this cat. I don't like cats, but I've always held an affinity for this type of cat. I believe they are of the Himalayan variety, with the pug face. There is something gangster about having a cat, vis-à-vis Don Corleone and Dr. Evil from Austin Powers - both men wielded extraordinary power.

New Koopsta Knicca and Lord Infamous

2008-10-29T15:23:00.004-04:00

Courtesy of youtube user infamouslp640's I was able to procure this new uncut funk from Dirty White featuring Lord Infamous and Kingpin Skinny Pimp. Also, we were able to elicit some leaks from the sequel to the Koopsta Knicca classic LP, "Da Devil's Playground" - the new one entitled "Da Devil's Playground 2"

Crunchy Blackness

2008-10-29T14:39:00.003-04:00

I haven't forgotten my homie Crunchy Black, formerly of the 36 Mafia. Crunchy is widely regarded as one of the most prolific emcees in the rap game. That last sentence was written in jest, for all my kniccas who were lost in the sarcasm. However, Crunchy is arguably the most prolific hype man, gangster walking, gun-toting thug to ever enter the rap game. Crunchy deserves major props for his loyalty to the HCP since its inception. God only knows how much work and dirt CB put in, in the name of HCP. For many 36 Mafia fans out there, the last straw came when he left the clique - most staunch supporters of 36 eventually turned their backs on them in disgust when CB dipped. Crunchy was the last relic of the truly devilish era of 36. I put together a little compilation of Crunchy for all hard hitters and Crunchy minions.

New Chrome Corleone Junts

2008-10-29T14:13:00.003-04:00

Chrome aka Chrome Corleone entered the fray known as Hypnotize Camp Posse shortly after Lil Wyte and Frayser Boy and proceeded to live up to the gold standard that the Hypnotize Minds continually show and prove. His aptly titled first album, "Straight to the Pros" is another thorough manifesto under the 36 Mafia/Hypotize Minds conglomerate. Word on the streets is he's got another LP in the pipeline. Check out some old junts, then check out the new ones maddafackkls!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And check out the new junts off of "Project Landlord"

Fuck A Trunk We Put His Ass in The Back Seat

2008-10-22T15:52:00.004-04:00

I was first introduced to Playa G after interviewing the Memphis/College Park veteran and legend T-Rock. T-Rock shared with me some of his inspirations and Playa G happened to be the only one who I wasn't familiar with previously. Playa G's first CD, Pimp Sh*t is a very rare and out of print remnant of that old school Memphis sound. He is perhaps the utter encapsulation of Memphis in hits heyday, back when DJ Paul and Juicy J were just local cats making underground tapes (editor's note: "Pimp Shit" was released in 1996, Paul and Juice were well entrenched in the rap scene by this time). Some of you may have heard his voice grace the Kingpin Skinny Pimp, "Midnight Hoes" track on the King of Da Playaz Ball cd. Playa G interweaves his music with that G-Funk style popularized by the west coast in the Death Row era. At any rate Playa G deserves to be immortalized in the annals of Memphis gangsta/pimp rap history. And ode to Playa G.
